Tay competed in her first youth rodeo last night. It was an SRCA open rodeo. Because of her age (7), she had to compete in the mutton busting. She wanted to start on calves even though Ryan and I tried to explain to her that it was probably best to start on sheep. We figured it would be her first and last time as Tay can be a bit foo foo girly at times and timid. She drew up first and did a real good job for her first time, but scored out of the money. She really wanted to win because she wanted to use the money to ride more rides at the county fair. To my amazement she came running over to ask if she could enter again. Of course she couldn't. Then she got a little mad because another kid was awarded a reride. "That's not fair, I want another ride too". Needless to say she doen't get the concept of a sport that allows do overs. This morning she was scoping out the event listings, and asking if we could take her to a bunch of events. I asked her if she liked it because ryan and I did, or because she really enjoyed it. Her response..."Mom it's soooo coool!".
SO, admittedly I'm one proud mama today. The only sad thing is that I was so into rooting her on, that my video of the whole thing, MISSED most of it.
Tay and Caity both got into the calf scramble at the end of the night. Somehow they both came out winners. Not sure that Caity actually took the ribbon off the calf, but in that melee who knows.

What great news! We had the pleasure of meeting with Rocky for a few minutes in Worcester this past May and he was so personable and just full of smiles. It broke our hearts to hear about his uncle and now we thank God that things have worked out. Mexico really needs to do something about this problem of kidnapping though. It just seems to take place all the time.

Hey bullsheeters I need some assistance. Does anyone have the phone number for the person who sells the small branding irons at the PBR venues. I need to contact them as I have lost my set.
. Will take a phone number or a web site I can contact them on.
Thanks

Hey Sarge.. Wish I could help but I can't remember seeing those irons... Did you try going through the PBR website (pbrnow.com)... They might even have a contact person who takes care of the things sold at events.. Sorry I can't be of more help... Good to see your post here and hope that you're doing well.

Just wondering how those bullsheeters, cowboys, and variouse freinds in MO, OK, and the rest of the Midwest, South, and Ca. have fared with these spring storms, and forest fires.
We've been pretty lucky here. Have had Tornados hit all around us within about a five to ten mile radius, but no direct hits.
We'll keep our prayers going for everyone around the country.

BTW. For those that may have heard about Ryans accident. God blessed us with his full recovery. Ryan was working on his truck a couple weeks ago when the radiator blew up in his face. He had 2nd degree burns to most of his face as well as his eyes. However, the burns healed very well, and there was no permanent damage to his eyes. He now has to wear sun block SPF 70 or higher on his face whenever he goes outside, but that is no big deal.

Thanks for the well wishes. It was quite a scary time. Is everyone else doing fine? No one has been in the path of bad storms or wild fires? The land hurricane last Friday (sorry forgot the scientific word for it) did quite a bit of damage from KS,OK,MO,KY and I think OH. so I wanted to make sure no one had been hurt or had damage.

Also wanted to say thanks to Joann for all your hard work with the game.

Darlynne
Glad to hear from you. Sorry to hear about Ryan. I hope his healing goes well with no additional problem. Would love to hear updates on the girls as well. The must be growing like weeds these days.
Good luck with those little twisters this year. I hope those in fire range have a better year this year but it appears that the fires have another plan.

So good to hear from you. Looked at the "Arena" section and noticed it's been more than two years since any things were done.

Please pass along my best to Ryan ... and to you and your family.

Up here in northwest Missouri, we've primarily had just rain, but lots of it. We need some hot, windy days to dry some things out.

You're not too far away, Darlynne, so you might consider a PBR event in Ada, Okla., the last weekend of this month. It's the Cord McCoy Invitational, and it's going to feature some of the best bull riders in the business. It's an Enterprise Rent-A-Car Tour event, which is only fitting with Cord's sponsorship. It's also a Professional Bullfighters Daisy Protection Bullfight event, so the bullfighting will be exceptional. You should check it out.

Hey Dar! Good to hear from y'all. Sorry to hear about Ryan's accident, but glad to hear he's doing OK. Wow, it's hard to believe it's been 10+ years that all of us have been corresponding on line. Time sure flies.

Hi stranger! It is still very dry here in the good ole SW USA (S. Az.) Alot of fires around but so far none "too" close. Sorry to hear about Ryan. How old are the girls now? Hope your dad is okay. Of course we still miss Woody so much. Don't stay such a stranger. This old BS hasn't been the same in the past couple of years. We need you to help liven it up again.

The girls are doing great. Taylor is 7 and just completed her last day of first grade yesterday. She was on the honor roll this year. Caity is 3 and a little trickster. She is always antagonizing her sister. They both love to play around our little ranchstead. Riding horses or chasing chickens. But their favorite pastime is visiting Papaw. Dad is doing great. He often gets out fishing on the lake (okay, it's really a river, but they call it a lake around here*LOL).He still keeps up with his carpentry. He put a Tomato garden garden in his side yard a couple days ago which he and the girls take care of daily. My garden wasn't big enough for the 72 tomato plants I started (not with all the other things being grown), so he took a few. I still have about thirty or so to find space for. Dad and I had gone up to Baker Creek Heirloom seeds in February or March and I think he bought about every variety of heirloom tomato seed they had. So figuring I'd lose a few seedlings, I started six of every variety for him. I didn't lose a single one...got mighty blessed.

Well it was sure different being at the PBR event in Worcester, Mass without snow or ice! Don't know who's idea it was to move it to May but it makes sense to us. Even with a little rain it was still so much nicer.

As always, it was a great event. The short go had such great bulls that I knew it was either going to be like last year (I think 10 or 11 rides in the 90's) or that there would be few rides. Unfortunately the bulls won out overall but the 4 rides were all 90+. Nice to see Chris Shivers get a win. And he did it by picking a bull that flipped back on top of Marchi in the chutes Saturday. That was a scary few seconds but Marchi jumped up and said bring him back and then rode him like the champ he is. I sure wouldn't bet against him being the first to repeat as world champ.

Got to the meet and greet on Sat morning and it wasn't very crowded so we got time to talk to quite a few riders. A few guys are really sore but aren't making any excuses or taking time off. It's been a long season so far and you can see the wear and tear on the guys. I reminded Dusty LaBeth about a few years ago when he ruined a pair of boots in the snow. He agreed that this time of year is much better to come out this way.

Also the PBR is doing some new thing, at some events, where Fan Club members can get into the arena early and go down by the dirt to meet up with a couple of riders before the event. I guess this event was only the 2nd time they did it so it wasn't quite organized as good as it could have been but I'm sure it will get better. On Friday we got to talk with Adriano, Dustin Elliot and JB. Sat ended up with no riders around. On Sunday Beau Hill, Rocky McDonald, and Nick Landreau came around. Of course Suzan thinks of Nick as "My little Nicky" so it was good to get a chance to visit with him for awhile. He kept telling us that he needed to "get a check" and we were happy to see him take 5th place. This new idea from the PBR also allows the Club members to go onto the arena area after the event to supposdly meet up with the riders for autographs, etc., but by the time you are able to make your way down to the dirt, most of the riders have already gone around the arena and were back in the locker room. I don't blame the riders and I just think that this whole idea needs a little 'tweaking' to make it work. I'm sure if the PBR keeps trying they will get it right.

I was a little surprised by the turnout. I know that everything is hurting these days and I'm thinking that even these events are going to feel it. Friday attendance was probably the lowest I've ever seen there in the 10+ years we've been going. Saturday was not a sellout and Sunday was decent but lower than I have seen recently. I know it's difficult and some of the people I talked to said that they cut back to either going just one or two instead of all 3 days. Hopefully it's just a sign of the hard times now and will change again. I know that between the 3 days, 6 tickets, 2 nights hotel, food, etc., it is not a cheap weekend for us. Glad that they come here but I really wouldn't mind if it was a 2 day event.

Anyway, good time and some great rides. J.W. Hart did the roping during the 1st half of Friday and that in itself was alot of fun. One bull, Skinny, must have taken 10 minutes to get put back in the pen. JW missed him on one try and of course Flint couldn't let that go. "It's harder to do when they're standing still, isn't it", was one of Flints comments when JW missed roping him one time. Oh yea, great to see Flint back. A little slower and not running up to the 2nd section but still a funny, funny guy.

Well no more events out here until Oct (Mohegan Sun). Guess I've got to start seeing how many tickets I need for that one.

Once again, I'm way late getting this done. Since I didn't have enough time to get everything done that I was already committed to, I joined the local ladies golf group and I'm taking up golf again! I'm sure that some how that made sense at the time. When you don't have enough time, add something else to the to-do list! Joann

As you may know, the Houston Rodeo uses the Super Series format which takes 19 performances and the Championship was last night. The 20th performance is today with PRCA X-treme Bulls...and ZZ Top.

I was introduced to Randy Bernard last night. I told him we miss the PBR in Houston and he said he would like to work with 'this great organization' to accomplish that. He is going to meet with the HLSR President today.

I know they work with the Denver Rodeo, but not sure how they could fit in with us, unless it just takes the place of the one event X-Treme Bulls.

I will see the Prez at a reception this afternoon and will post again if I get any more info.

I'm not sure how many of you might have already heard or seen the news but I just thought that I'd post it here because I know you all would want to know.

The PBR has reported that Flint suffered a mild heart attack. It sounds like he is resting in the hospital and they are determining what is going to be done about some blockage. The full story, so far, is on the PBR website (pbrnow.com).

I know you are probably just as shocked as I am. Who would ever have thought that somebody who moves around as much as he does would have this happen. Anyway, just wanted to drop on here and mention it. There is a comment link on the PBR story that you can send him any wishes. I know we will sure keep him in our prayers.

Here are the standings after OKC. I will try to get the first event of the weekend up tomorrow and the second one on Wednesday. After that I will be gone for a week, so next weekends results will be really late.

That said, the Bullsheet is the absolutely WORST way to communicate with me and post your trades. Where I can get to the Bullsheet with my little laptop at home, the little laptop is NOT my home computer. It is my travel computer. I will get on once a week (or every other week) to post standings, but I will not be checking it on a regular basis. The only reason that I knew there were trades on it this time is that I was out of town Friday night and using the little laptop.

Hey!! Could all you guys stop stepping on my head!!! Wow, what a bad start I did to myself this year. Nice to see Joann up front. Sure do deserve it for all the work you do.

Anyway, guess I'm going to have to jump on the JB wagon and trade away my top cowboy, Ryan Dirteater (you just can't get a better name for a bullrider!) and pick up JB for team JAG. Hate to do it because I like Ryan but I really need some points.

It's so nice to be able to post to the bullsheet from home, even if it is on a tiny laptop with a network unintentionally provided by a neighbor (thankyou whoever you are). Here are the standings after Winston-Salem.

This is also the trading period where you can trade one cowboy who is in the draw.

This is just a test. I know that Kris has already posted these results, but I just want to be sure that I can copy the spreadsheet from my computer to the tiny laptop and get the results on the Bullsheet. As some people like the e-mail better I will do them both ways. Joann

Howdy All, hard to believe, but I did not curse Ryan Dirteater and he pulled off a win (which my team really appreciated). Beckie has moved up to second and I'm hanging in there in first for one more week. Joann

Since Joann is still having problems with her PC and the Bull Sheet I thought I would just post her email here regarding the team standings after Baltimore.....Below is the email from Joann.

Howdy All, The season is underway, and I'm finally getting last weeks scoring done. Since this is a 3 day event, I won't get this one done this weekend, and then I'm heading out to find some warm weather, so it could be several weeks before I get to it. Joann

There's hope that I will be able to post results here sometime in the future. I got a cute, tiny lap top that has wireless, and since one of my neighbors has a strong wireless network that I pick up at home, I can get to the bullsheet. Only problem is that I still need to get Excel on the tiny laptop so that I can post the results. But there is hope!

Just want to wish all the BSheeter's a very Merry Christmas and a great New Years! Hope you all get to share these times with the ones you love and who love you. We are so blessed to have the joy of good friends and family and we don't take it for granted. May God bless you all.

I wish the best to all for a Merry Christmas and a great 2009. I would like to see the BS become like it was when Woody was still with us. Remember all the good discussions? Maybe 2009 will bring Darlynne more free time to get online and chat.
For those of you caught in the bad weather, I hope you have power, plenty of food and alot of patience!!!! Good luck to all.

Merry Christmas everybody, and praying for Gods Blessings on you all in 2009. Gini, I hope I get more time to be on here too. I miss it and everybody on it all the time. I hope this new year is a good one for all those in the PRCA,IPRA, PBR, CBR, NABA, and rodeo and bullriding in general.
Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad, Bon Noel

Wow, what a NFR Lindsay Sears has had in the barrels. She started off with a 7th and a 10th (tipped a barrel that will cost her the average title) then, in the next seven rounds, she goes:
3 - First
4 - Third
5 - Second
6 - First
7 - First
8 - First
9 - First

She has already won over $100,000 through Round 9, locked up the World Championship and will win over $300,000 for the year, which should be a record.

Talk about 'CowGIRL' Up...and for that 'obsessed' Bull Sheeter, yep, she is a Blonde.

Lindsay is from Alberta. Interestingly, of the 15 Finalists, three are from Alberta and seven are from Texas.

Also, congrats to Cody Wright, who has locked up his first World Championship in Saddle Bronc. He won't have to worry about marking out in Round 10...he missed out in Round 10 last year and it cost him the world title.

My yearly BLONDE report..... Well it's either that the cost in the beauty shops have gone up or the riders have just decided that NATURAL is best but the 'not blonde' riders out number the blonde riders in the NFR 8 to 7.
Yes, this is my obsesion and you can tell me to get a life.
Petey

Well we completed another PBR fantasy game by e-mail since my computer at home still doesn't like the bullsheet. The PRCA has the NFR qualifiers list up and I will start up that game soon. If you want to be included and aren't on my list of e-mail addresses from the PBR game, drop me an email. Also if you want to play the PBR game next year and aren't on my e-mail list.

Just got back from a business trip to Southern Louisiana and first chance to get on line.

Thanks for the kind words Al, but like the 'Old Timer' always said, "Don't count yer chickens before they hatch." With that said, my team, with the exception of Wiley P, did perform well.

It has been a fun year, and a big thanks to Joann from me, too.

Hope you enjoy the Finals, Al...and all who are there. Here's hoping all the 'Boys and the Bulls stay safe.

On a funny note, I had lunch with a two key customers in Houma and Morgan City on Tuesday and Wednesday. Now, you know Southern Louisiana is known for some of the best Cajun seafood in the world. I always let them name the lunch place, so guess what I had for lunch two days in a row...Mexican Food. Me from Houston, well known for great Tex-Mex food and had it for dinner Saturday night. Who 'da thunk it...Truth is stranger than fiction.

Well you can get to bragging now because you sure did put on a burst at the end! Congrats! It was a fun year for sure.

We got back late last night. Tough to go from 70's to 40's for daytime temps! Along with every leaf in the neighborhood being in my yard.. Or at least it looked that way.. Hours of blowing, raking, mowing.. Oh well, it's better than snow!

Had a great time. Ended up sitting with Cody and Stacey Custer (Thanks again Stacey) for the 3 nights (Fri - Sun) events. Got to meet a couple of their new OK neighbors also. Great people. Great event. Can't do much better than that. Even though Vegas wears on me (too much noise, etc.) it's still a great Finals. No way Marchi was going to be denied this year! Probably not a dry eye in the place when Adriano took his last ride. Didn't matter that he bucked off. That is a class act that we hope stays involved with the PBR. We were all hoping that Justin would end up with Camo one last time but it just wasn't to be. Great ride to end a career. There's another guy who's come a long way. Even though those two are gone, there are so many other good riders that it looks like the PBR will continue with new superstars.

Flint was in rare form. He came up with a couple of new song parities that had us all laughing.

Each time we go, we say "Wow.. What a great Finals". And it just seems each time gets better. Don't know when we'll make another but sure glad we did this one.

Got to meet up with Terri.. Ran into her at the airport the morning we were leaving and visited after the event on Sat.. Hadn't seen her for awhile so it was good to catch up.

Special thanks to Joann for the game. I still don't know how she does it.

One last thought.. A couple of people I talked to said that they don't think Justin will stay retired.. I think he will but what do you think?.. Should he?.. Will he?.. Just some food for conversation/thought.

Well we're just a couple of days away from getting to the Finals.. Got to say a big congratulations to BooMan because just like Marchi it doesn't look like anybody will catch him.. Nice job Bill! Sure was a fun race but I told Joann a couple of months ago that I thought you had the team that would take the prize. Thanks again to Joann for keeping up the game even through computer crashes and work craziness!

Looking forward to getting out to Vegas. We will be meeting up with one of our old favorites, CC Rider and Stacey. Will be good to see them again.

I really need to have them e-mailed to me as this is the end of the year for me at work and I can go weeks at a time without being able to get on the internet to check the Bullsheet and since I live 80 miles from the nearest major city, I won't be able to get my computer in for repairs any time soon.

I've got the standings after Oakland (yes, I remembered to check to see where the event was held) and Jag closed the gap on BooMan this week, but BooMan still holds the lead. And I've finally moved into the top 5, just 7,000 points behind the leader.

Here are the standings after last weekends event (wherever the heck it was). One of these days I've got to start paying attention to where those dang events are. BooMan took over the lead this week by a little over 600 points. Still a dang close race. Joann

Well congrats to BooMan.. I knew he'd get me sooner or later.. After going through the storm he sure deserves to be in 1st place.. That's a great team you've got.. I told Joann a while ago that I thought you'd end up on top..

Seriously, hope you're on the road to full recovery Bill.. It's hard to imagine the destruction some people have to deal with.. Glad that you got through it relatively okay.

Thanks JAG, but I know there's several more events and the Finals, and I think it will go down to the wire...and Joann will be happy!

Our plant got power back last night so we are converting from generators to public power and getting additional equipment back on line. Our sales offices about a mile away will hopefully get power tomorrow. Good friends, some in affluent neighborhoods are still without power. Galveston and other coastal communities will be months and months away from getting back to normal.

Thanks to all for their concern for Susan K and me, and the folks in the Gulf Coast area.

Hi everyone. My friend Robyn had purchased tickets for the PBR Finals for the last two nights, the 8th and the 9th of November in hopes what she would be able to go. Well as it turns out with the Presidential Election the week prior to the finals she will not be able to go. And needless to say she is really bummed about that. I’m hoping to be able to sell her tickets for her. Her are for the following seats:

Saturday, November 8th – Section 209, Row K, Seat 7, Portal 19

Sunday, November 9th – Section 209, Row K, Seat 11, Portal 20

Robyn is selling them at face value which is $41.00 each. Please let me know if you are interested in these tickets. As we all know, the last 2 rounds of the finals usually are the best. We can either mail the tickets to you or I will bring them with me to Las Vegas.

Well, like BooMan, we are alive and well. We had very little damage to the house but lots of downed trees and power lines in our area. We still do not have power, but do have a generator. The power company hopes to have power restored to 50-75% of their customers by next Tuesday. Hopefully, ours will be part of that since we have been without since 6:30 Friday night. We do have a small TV, refrig, freezer and a fan going. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and keep them up. We were so forunate to come out with just power problems.

Also, like hearing from the BooMan, it's great to hear that you made it through. Hope you can get enough gas to keep that generator going. You know you're in all the BSheet'ers thoughts. Best of luck to getting everything back to normal as soon as possible.

It sure is good to have both Boo Man and Susan reporting in with relatively little damage (though there sure is lots of inconvenience). I know it will be a long time before things are normal again. You're still in my Prayers as is the entire area.

And good to hear that all is good for the Kelley/Wilburn clans. We miss hearing from you

Good to hear from you Bill. I was wondering how you were doing. It sure did look like a monster and it is sad to see how much devestation was done. I was talking to a power company lineman last Friday night and he was leaving for your area on Sat morning. He was predicting that they'd probably be there a month or more.

Overall, even though you had some damage, I'm sure you're thankfull that you made it through as well as you did.

Thanks again for letting us know you're okay. I'm sure all your friends here on the BSheet will be happy to hear it.

I actually had the time to pop on here. Hello to all my friends. I miss you all. I'm glad to see that you are all still playing the game.
The ol' ranchstead keeps us pretty busy. This year I extended my garden and had the best haul to date. The kids, work, and the animals take the rest of my time. Taylor is in the first grade. She still loves school, and wants to play every sport there is. She's still as stubborn as can be (but we just can't figure WHERE she got that from *wink*)Tay also wants to play the violin. so that's our next goal. Caity is about to turn three and is still tiny for her age. Guess she gets her heighth from me. She is also the biggest daredevil out of the two....though both do pretty well in that department. Caity will climb and jump off of anything, including me. They both enjoy riding horses...now if we could just get them to ENJOY mucking the stalls too.
Ryan keeps busy with work and horse training on the side. I try to keep him as busy as possible so he doesn't drive me nuts in the house *LOL*
We still keep up with rodeo and bullriding on TV. We don't get much of a chance to see them live anymore though dog gone it. Every once in a while we hit one that's close by.

Well anyway, there's my little spout about nothing in particular. Just wanted you all to know we are still alive and well. And that we still think of you all. Hope everyone is well. Also hope that no one was injured or took any bad hits from Ike. You folks are always in our prayers.
Good luck to all who are playing Fantasy PBR. Joanne you're amazing.
Smiles and hugs all around
Darlynne

Welcome back to the BS!!!! It sure isn't the same as it used to be. No big discussions---not many discussions at all anymore. Guess everyone is too busy.
Glad your family is still doing good. You didn't mention your dad. How is he doing? I still miss Woody and her comments.

Dad is doing real well. He went up to Ohio this week for his Moms 99th birthday. Normally though, he has one project or another that he wants to complete. having my garden gives him lots to think up and do. Everytime I turn around he's built something else for my garden, or has found another plant for it...Even though i grow mostly veggies. His newest project is a trellis at the head of the garden which will be the home of a wysteria tree. When he isn't working on something, he's at the the coffee shop shootin the bull w/ all the other good ol' boys.

What a nice surprise! Great to hear from you "D". Wow.. Those girls are really growing up fast. Dare-devils you say huh? Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!
Glad to hear that things in MO are doing okay and that you haven't gotten any damage from those storms.

We are "hunkering down" at home. We have spent most of the day covering sliding glass doors. The storm is due to come on shore around midnight but the winds are already picking up and it is clouding up. Thanks for your prayers.

Absolutly agree with Joann to hope for the best from all in that area. We're watching the news and it is so scary to see. Can't imagine what it's like to be going through it. Let's pray that it passes fast and does not do as much damage as predicted.

For all those playing our fantasy game, please send me your e-mail addresses (I've already got lots of them). This weekend I couldn't get on the Bullsheet at home as my computer had it blocked as a pornography site. I'm on this morning at work, but it was scary. I wasn't sure how we would finish up the game, so as a backup, send me your e-mail addresses (joannhinman@gmail.com), and if you post for more than one team, give me the team names. Thanks.

Unfortunately we've had some changes on our trip to the Finals this year. So, we've ended up with a couple of extra tickets for a few nights if somebody is looking for some. Because we won't be getting into Vegas until late on Thursday, all 4 tickets are available for Thus, Nov 6th. They are in section 111, row T and are seats 1, 2, 3 & 4. I have the tickets in hand and am looking just to recoup what I paid out for them. If anyone is interested just drop me an email and we'll work out the details.

It also looks like I will have 2 of these seats available for the Fri and Sat (Nov 7th & 8th) performances. They are same section and row as above. We will be sitting in the other 2 seats for those nights.

Hope somebody can use them. Thanks.

Oh yea... Hey BooMan... Could you stop stepping on my heals :)

Wow what a close race! I don't know what to do about Canter. Have to see what next weeks draw brings. Kudo's again to JoAnn!!

Looks like the PBR snuck in an event for this weekend after I printed a schedule (long, long ago). Today/tonights performance is mostly Canadian bullriders. The BFTS event starts tomorrow, so look for the draw on Friday.

Do you all realize he has just bucked off 16 times. What do you think? Do we need better bulls or what? Justin sports medicine getting better? Training has been figured out? Where is the wheaties box with his picture.

Yep... I'll take that trade also. I need all the help I can to try to keep BooMan at bay. Sure is a fun race though. Looks like there'll be a few teams who can jump ahead if they have a good Finals. Thanks again JoAnn. Hope your 'tush' is continuing to be comfortable :)

Please trade Williams for McBride. Thanks! Hope everyone is having a great summer thus far. We are still on dry land in the Midwest, but not by much! Sure glad all of this rain wasn't snow. We'd never get dug out!

I've got trades to record for SusanK, Jag, Littlemaster, Cabarillo and Marylou. And I'm going to trade Cross for McBride (got to keep up with everyone else that has him). And yes Jag, my tush is still really comfortable in that Kayak seat.

I have two additional sets of tickets for the finals if anyone is interested. I am selling for a friend who bought 4/ I have already sold two sets. Please let me know if you are interested. They are being sold for face value of $85.00 and are in Section 110 Row D. Very good seats.

BooMan has narrowed the gap even more, but Jag holds on to the lead for at least one more event. I can't believe that after 22 events there is less than 350 points seperating first and second. Now that is my kind of race!

We will have a trading period before the next event (sometime in the middle of July). You may need to give me a reminder that the event is coming up as it gets easy to forget about the PBR when they take their summer breaks.

I knew that BooMan was going to be jumping up with that great team he's picked.

And.. It's my own fault... I put in the injury trade for team SLG and forgot to do mine! Meant to put McBride in for Pistol! Maybe BooMan will jump into 1st... I sure don't deserve it if I can't even keep track of my own team!

I have not done a very good job with my team, just saw two of my riders are out. Not sure who I can repalace them with can I replace Billy Robinson and Mark Lopes with Justin McBride and Ben Jones?? Hope this will work if not please tell me who I can trade them for. Thanks Pat

I really haven't forgotten that I haven't scored the last event. I've just been having too much fun out playing (I do love summer) and testing my new kayak seat that I got with my Cabelas gift certificate (and it was wonderful). Thanks again everyone!

Glad to hear that you're having fun this summer. Sure did seem like the good weather took a long time to get here. Of course there's so many in the Midwest who are just having terrible times. Hope all the B'Sheeters are okay.

While I have a moment, guess I'll post the trade for team SLG. Vince Northrope is not on the draw so she'll take Justin McBride if that works. I think that because he's just coming onto the tour he'll be listed as below the 45th position. If I'm mistaken just let me know. Thanks.

Also, just want to shout out a "Hi" and thanks to Sarge for the thoughts on Fathers Day. Just saw it here. Good to hear from you Sarge. Hope you're doing well.

I agree with you 100%. I hate to see any of the boys get hurt but it sure broke my heart to see Paulo get hurt again, so soon. Before he broke his neck he was a serious contenter for the world title and now with this injury, you know it's got to be really hard on him mentally.
